Introduction
Running for your life....hmm..maybe not the best situation to be in huh? Well, if you were trying to
save the last of a race you would too! So don't blame me. Anyways, i'm Ari, more importantly im one
of the last of the elves. No, c'mon im not talking about 3 foot tall people with pointy ears who wear
red and green. I'm talking about REAL elves, yeah I guess like in fairy tales. Im trying to save myself
from this group called the Feared. They are a group of humans who over the years probably hit their
heads too much and think that us elves are trying to take over the world or something. Idiots....no
not you don't worry I don't hate you but maybe others might. Anyways about the Feared, they will stop
at nothing until our race is wiped out and nothing is left. These murderers have killed most of us
and it has been tragic, but I have survived to live and tell my tale starting with the beginning... no not
in the dinosaur period c'mon you guys really? Now listen to my tale.....
16 years earlier.....
The walls are closing in as the hounds of hell and the fearless corrupt men corner my family and I.
Everything is red it's almost as if somebody spilled gallons of red paint everywhere. But no, I only
wish it was... it is blood. From the countless elves killed by these men. Yes. Human men. They take
my family away as they scream and scream and scream... then silence.... I am alone a six year old
elf with not the faintest idea of what the world is capable of. They surround me closing in... I am
shaking with terror swatting the hounds when they got too close. I remember a tremor... a small one
but still.... a tremor... while the men are distracted I see my chance and... run. I run away from the
men going past what remains of my town. I pass everything and look.... the leaders house is on fire.
I here screams and wails of protest while I run from it all. I remember being on a cliff overlooking
our once beautiful town... then blacking out...
Told from Six year old Ari's view...
I slowly opened my eyes sitting up at the same time. It is quite and I can hear the wind blowing the
sand. I stand up looking around. The sand... it is red and were my town was a second ago, in it's
glory and all, was now debris and some buildings left standing. I turn and start running. Even
though i had sand on me and was only in a red plain sleeping dress I ran and ran and ran.
Then slow down a bit.. I don't remember my name. Then I think... O.k my towns name was Arphan it
should have Ar... " How about Ari?" I whisper. Good enough for me. I squint into the distance and
can make out the nearest town. I start running again faster then before, my feet barely looked like
they even were hitting the ground as I ran. And then I saw them.
End of Chapter 1
